No, it's not in the class of a gaffe or absurdity. If it's true, I think that it would be a deal breaker for a lot of Trump supporters or those on the fence. I'll give you that Trump supporters give him a pass on a lot of things, but to think this would get a pass is pretty demeaning to the actual intelligence of Trump supporters. And to lump it into the category of a gaffe or absurdity by those who oppose Trump, how could it be shrugged off as meaningless if its true ? I don't get that either. This is pretty serious stuff, imo. What will be telling is how long it lasts in the news cycle. 2¢

I've stopped trying to follow every outrage, but that article's pretty interesting. For the record, I think he'll stay in, but would not be surprised at all if he does drop out. In the absence of our Trump shill who quit posting here knock on wood after the primaries were wrapped up, I'll just point out that Dilbert's cartoonist, who has been blogging about Trump for months, still says Trump's going to win in a landslide. With non-politicians still offering up that kind of encouragement, I think he'll stick around.

As to this story; in my observations, anytime a news outlet with an overt agenda (i.e. MSNBC, Fox News) cites "unnamed sources", it's b@llshit about 90% of the time, especially given that this alleged incident took place "several months" ago and Scarborough waited until now to bring it up. There's no need to go on about what stupid thing Trump "may have" said, he doesn't need any help. Like this recently televised quote about Putin: "He's not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand. He's not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want..."
Agreed. The problem is that there are so few genuine journalists around these days, particularly on TV. An example is when a talking head asks his guest if he thinks such and such rumor/story is true. Well, how about you or your "news" organization finds out and then tells us?

Play the role of martyr if you like. My bet is that Trump is working on concocting a litany of excuses/blame for why he had to quit the race. I think that (while there is still a choice) he would rather be seen as a quitter than a loser. I'm betting there is a 90% or better chance that he'll drop out before the first debate. I suppose that if he quits you will still support his decision and rationalize his reasons for doing so? Or will you take the tougher road and man-up and say... yeah, the guy wasn't cut out for the job?

Are you saying that the poisoning has not been done by Trump, or that the needed bleeding will not be done by Trump?

I find your posts thought provoking and I appreciate your point of view. Please understand that I am in no sense throwing in the towel. I am, however, staunchly apolitical as I have my heart vested in many directions humanly speaking. I'm better off marginally outside the arguments and navel gazing that often substitutes for informed opinion in the fields and streams of politically oriented conversation. I count listening as far superior to talking in most cases, and serving as an honorable progression in the wake of overwhelming frustration.
Partisanship IMO is a death sentence in this the information age where a lie is as good as the truth to a resonant ear. It seems that, as in an impressionistic painting, the noise is inseparable from the subject when one stands too close to appreciate the line, color, and aesthetic. One must step back and observe from a distance when fair observation comes into conflict with appreciable perspective. Therein lies the wisdom to marry context with perception.
Thank you for caring.

I know I have not always been the gentlest of posters and I apologize to fellow RPers if I have upset you in this thread. At the end of the day, we are all people trying to make sense of the world and wanting the best for ourselves, our family and neighbors. Most of us are Americans, a fact which despite some great differences in political opinion invokes a spirit of solidarity in me, especially since 9/11.
